The CCL Blue season kicks off with a matchup of undefeateds as the defending co-champion Brother Rice Crusaders visit the DeLaSalle Meteors at Dan Ryan Field on Chicago's South Side. Both teams sport 2-0 records and both feature outstanding running games. The advantage, however, goes to Brother Rice because of the featured passing game with senior QB Tim Evans and WB Austin McDonough. The Crusaders have won the last two games in this matchup by a combined score of 61-0 with a win at Rice in 2003, and here at Ryan field in 2004.
